Sarah Sanders demands press smear Comey: We should be putting him down
By Oliver Willis -
April 13, 2018
The White House is running an elaborate smear campaign on former FBI Director James Comey, and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders expects reporters to cooperate.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued marching orders to reporters Friday in response to the release of former FBI Director James Comeys book, telling them they should join her in putting him down.
The angry rant from Sanders during the daily press briefing came as part of the White Houses coordinated campaign to smear and undermine Comey.
Trump kicked off the day attacking Comey, describing it as his great honor to fire him.
At the briefing, one reporter recited a long list of federal law enforcement officials Trump has attacked and undermined: Its his own attorney general, its his own deputy attorney general, its special counsel, its the FBI, its judges who make decisions that he doesnt like Its not just people whove been proven to leak information.
The president hasnt underminded (sic) them in any capacity, Sanders said. Just because he calls out things that he finds to be problematic or concerning. I think that he should do that.
Sanders then pivoted to an attack on the reporters in the room, while at the same demanding that they join her smear campaign, as if they are supposed to be working together.
You guys spend hours upon hours every single day praising Jim Comey, propping him up, giving him the biggest platform. We shouldnt be praising him. We should be putting him down, we should be taking him off of air, instead of giving him minute after minute................................

The way she tries to manipulate the reporters should be the news on the MSM.

Comey is no longer constrained by the outline of the previous job. He can speak freely and tell the reality of what he has seen and what he knows.
When the public understands that !!!! then, all acts and efforts to try and deny what he speaks will fall on deaf ears....
The Republican System can't control his narrative, nor should we the public allow them to.

Talk about a rabid dog. Sarah needs some putting down or some serious obedience training.

has no clue as to what her real job is. She looks mean and nasty in that photo as well. It's just a job Sarah. Calm the F*** down!
